Revenue for the third quarter was $12.8 million, a 44% increase from the third quarter of 2006, and a 10% sequential increase versus the second quarter of 2007. Sequential revenue growth was due primarily to strong and balanced growth between new customers and existing customer expansion.

"LivePerson delivered strong revenue growth in the third quarter driven by successful execution across the company and the market's increasing demand for online customer engagement tools," said Robert LoCascio, CEO of LivePerson. "We're generating significant ROI for our customers, and they're acknowledging our value through incremental investments."

LivePerson signed several new blue-chip clients during the quarter including Capital One, Cisco, AT&T, Samsung and Getty Images, as well as a:

-- Leading French provider of consumer credit
-- Leading national furniture retailer
-- Prominent social networking site
-- Leading Internet-based personal publishing service
The company expanded business with several existing customers including:
-- Bell, Canada's largest communications provider
-- One of the world's largest financial institutions
-- A leading Global Financial Services firm
-- A leading Global provider of IT Hardware, Software & Services
-- The leading telecommunications provider in the UK

Net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $1.6 million or $0.03 per share as compared to net income of $0.3 million or $0.01 per share in the third quarter of 2006, and net income of $0.9 million or $0.02 per share in the second quarter of 2007.

The Company's effective tax rate in the third quarter was zero resulting from a partial release of the company's valuation allowance against deferred tax assets based on current estimates of future taxable income.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock- based compensation (EBITDA) for the third quarter of 2007 was $2.7 million as compared to $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2006 and $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2007.

The difference between EBITDA per share, a non-GAAP measure, and GAAP EPS, is interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation. A reconciliation of the differences between EBITDA and the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) is located under the heading "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information to GAAP" immediately following the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income included in this press release.

LivePerson considers EBITDA and cash from operations to be important financial indicators of the company's operational strength and the performance of its business. EBITDA should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the table below.

The company's cash balance increased by $3.6 million or 14% to $30.2 million at September 30, 2007 as compared to June 30, 2007. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter and pursuant to the previously announced agreement to purchase the outstanding stock of Kasamba, Inc., the company paid $9 million in cash and issued approximately 4.1 million common shares to Kasamba stockholders, and assumed approximately 624,000 options to purchase common stock.

Financial Expectations

The company currently expects the following financial results, including impact from the operations of Kasamba, Inc., which was acquired by LivePerson effective October 3, 2007:

-- Revenue of $16.8 - $17.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, or
approximately 32% quarterly sequential revenue growth
-- EBITDA of $0.05-$0.06 per share and GAAP EPS of $0.01-$0.02 for the
fourth quarter of 2007
-- Revenue of $52.2 - $52.5 million for the full year 2007
-- EBITDA of $0.20 - $0.21 per share and GAAP EPS of $0.09 - $0.10 for the
full year 2007
-- An effective tax rate of 0% for the full year 2007

Excluding Kasamba's impact of approximately $3 million quarterly revenue, quarterly sequential revenue growth is expected to be approximately 8-9% in the fourth quarter of 2007.

The GAAP EPS expectations already include the estimated impact of a change in accounting policy related to adopting SFAS 123(R) as of January 1, 2006. The impact is expected to decrease net income per share by $0.02 and $0.08, for the fourth quarter and the full year 2007, respectively. This impact may change based upon additional stock option grants, if any, methodology refinement or other factors, and includes the impact of approximately 624,000 options assumed in connection with the acquisition of Kasamba.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted earnings per share ("Adjusted EPS") -- Basic and Diluted, which are reconciled to net income (loss), net income (loss), and net income (loss) per share -- basic and diluted, respectively, which the company believes are the most comparable GAAP measures. The company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for internal managerial purposes, when providing its business outlook, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the company's operations that, when viewed with its GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the company's business. These non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, income (loss) from operations, cash flow from operating activities and net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring, non- cash impairment charges, executive transition, financial advisory fees, loss from discontinued operations and other expense, net. The company considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an important indicator of its operational strength. The company deducts other expense, net, consisting primarily of interest income (expense) from net income (loss) in calculating Adjusted EBITDA because it regards interest income (expense) to be a non-operating item. This measure also eliminates the effects of depreciation and amortization, restructuring, non-cash impairment charges, executive transition, financial advisory fees, loss from discontinued operations and stock-based compensation expense from period to period, which the company believes is useful to management and investors in evaluating its operating performance, as depreciation and amortization, restructuring, non-cash impairment charges, executive transition, financial advisory fees, loss from discontinued operations and stock-based compensation costs are not directly attributable to the underlying performance of the company's business operations. A limitation associated with this measure is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the company's businesses. Management evaluates the costs of such tangible and intangible assets through other financial measures such as capital expenditures. A further limitation associated with this measure is that it does not include stock-based compensation expenses related to the company's workforce. Management compensates for this limitation by providing supplemental information about stock-based compensation expense on the face of the consolidated statements of operations.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) excluding loss from discontinued operations, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring, non-cash impairment charges, executive transition and financial advisory fees. The company considers Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to be a profitability measure which facilitates the forecasting of its operating results for future periods and allows for the comparison of its results to historical periods and to other companies in its industry. A limitation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is that it does not include all items that impact the company's net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share for the period. Adjusted EPS -- Basic and Diluted are defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) calculated on a basic and diluted per share basis, respectively.

PlanetOut's management believes the non-GAAP information is useful because it can enhance the understanding of the company's ongoing economic performance and PlanetOut therefore uses non-GAAP information internally to evaluate and manage the company's operations. PlanetOut has chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform comparisons of operating results in a manner similar to how the company analyzes its operating results.

Forward-Looking Statements

In addition to the historical information contained herein, this press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding PlanetOut's anticipated future growth and financial performance, as well as statements containing the words "believes," "anticipates," "expects," and similar words. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the company to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the company's limited operating history and variability of operating results; competition; the company's ability to attract and retain subscribers and advertisers; timing of product launches; success of its marketing efforts; and the company's dependence on technology infrastructure and the Internet. Additional information concerning factors that could affect PlanetOut's future business and financial results is included in the company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and other public filings filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which are available at the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov/. All such forward-looking statements are current only as of the date on which such statements were made. PlanetOut does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which any such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

The Advisory Board Company Reports Fiscal Year 2008 Second Quarter ResultsCompany Reports Quarterly Revenue Growth of 16% and Contract Value Growth of 17%; Announces New Program Launch

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Advisory Board Company today announced financial results for the second quarter of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2008. Revenues for the quarter increased 16% to $54.0 million, from $46.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Net income was $8.5 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared to $7.2 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. Contract value grew 17% to $217.5 million as of September 30, 2007, up from $186.3 million as of September 30, 2006.

For the six months ended September 30, 2007, revenues increased 16% to $105.1 million, from $90.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2006. Net income for the six months ended September 30, 2007 was $15.6 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, compared to $13.7 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago.

To analyze results on a comparable basis to periods prior to the implementation of SFAS No. 123R, the Company's management uses and is providing adjusted financial results, including adjusted net income and earnings per diluted share, that exclude share-based compensation expense. Adjusted net income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 was $10.8 million, up from $9.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007. Adjusted earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 increased 21% to $0.58, from $0.48 in the same quarter of the prior year. Adjusted net income for the six months ended September 30, 2007 was $20.2 million, or $1.07 per diluted share compared to $17.8 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. A reconciliation of the Company's reported and adjusted results is set forth in the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section included below.

Frank Williams, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Advisory Board Company, commented, "We are quite pleased with our financial results for the second quarter. Across the quarter, healthy renewal performance, strong new program introductions and success in cross-selling led to strong revenue and contract value growth. Accordingly, our value proposition of providing cutting-edge, highly applicable best practice research, complemented by an ongoing focus on program innovation continues to resonate in the marketplace. Across the year, member feedback continues to emphasize the tangible economic impact of our membership programs on their most important strategic and operational issues."

Williams added, "I am also pleased to announce our latest launch, the Supply Quality Performance Program. This program provides a comprehensive toolkit to assist health systems in building a real-time performance benchmark and decision support system aimed at ensuring patient safety and care excellence through the proactive management of supply quality. Through best practice research, performance benchmarking data, and a robust, web-based analytical tool, the program enhances a member institution's ability to create an infrastructure to ensure that supplies and devices uniformly meet quality standards across a broad organization. Given recent market trends towards increased quality transparency as well as the rapidly shifting medical supply landscape, this infrastructure is critical as an operational and strategic tool in improving patient safety that will increasingly become a critical core competency for our hospital members. We have already established a strong charter membership for the program, including Evanston Northwestern Healthcare, Stanford Hospital, University Medical Center at Princeton, Hackensack University Medical Center, and Children's Hospital of Seattle. The program is off to a strong start, and we are very excited about its potential."

Outlook for the Remainder of Calendar Year 2007

The Company announced revenue guidance for the next calendar quarter of approximately $55.8 million, and has increased its full year revenue guidance to approximately $211.2 million. The Company expects adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.54 for the quarter ending December 31, 2007, and has increased its full year adjusted earnings per diluted share guidance to $2.10. The Company expects an effective income tax rate of approximately 33.3% for the remainder of fiscal year 2008.

Adjusted expected results exclude share-based compensation expense and are estimated using effective tax rates and number of weighted average diluted shares outstanding calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Beginning in fiscal year 2008, the Company no longer excludes from its adjusted results employer taxes related to the exercise of employee stock options. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for additional information on adjusted financial presentations and a reconciliation with results presented in accordance with GAAP.

The Company's management uses the adjusted presentations to evaluate projected operating results on a basis that is comparable to that used for periods prior to implementation of SFAS No. 123R and provides such information publicly to assist in comparisons to prior periods. For historical results, a reconciliation between results as adjusted and in conformity with GAAP is shown in the attached schedule. The Company is not able to provide a quantitative reconciliation of its outlook for the remainder of calendar year 2007 to GAAP as equity-based compensation is dependent upon a number of unknown factors, including the amount, type and timing of equity-based compensation grants and future stock prices. Because adjusted financial results are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, they may not be comparable as presented to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted financial results are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be viewed as a pro-forma presentation reflecting the elimination of the underlying share-based compensation programs, as those programs are an important element of the Company's compensation structure and generally accepted accounting principles indicate that all forms of share- based payments should be valued and included as appropriate in results of operations. Management compensates for this aspect of the non-GAAP financial measures by separately evaluating its share-based compensation arrangements.

These statements are based on information available to the Company as of November 1, 2007, the date of this news release, as well as the Company's current projections, forecasts and assumptions, and involve risks and uncertainties.

Consequently, actual operations and results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, and reported results should not be considered as an indication of future performance.

SYRACUSE, N.Y., Nov. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Anaren, Inc. today reported net sales for the fiscal 2008 first quarter ended September 30, 2007 of $32.1 million, up 6.2% from the first quarter of last year.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20021022/NYTU197LOGO )

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was $2.7 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, down from $3.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share for the first quarter of last year. Net income for the quarter included $0.04 per diluted share in stock based compensation expense. Excluding stock based compensation expense, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was $3.4 million, or $0.21 per diluted share compared to $4.4 million, or $0.25 per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was 22.9%, compared to 24.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was $2.8 million, or 8.7% of net sales, down from $4.1 million, or 13.6% of net sales for the first quarter of last year. Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 included $896,000 of stock based compensation expense compared to $830,000 of stock based compensation expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Excluding stock based compensation expense, operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was $3.7 million, or 11.5% of net sales compared to $4.9 million, or 16.4% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

Lawrence A. Sala, Anaren's President and CEO said, "Despite the growth in net sales from the same quarter of last year, profit margins declined as projected, largely due to the change in product mix." Mr. Sala added, "We continue to pursue numerous new wireless infrastructure custom assembly opportunities. In addition, strong Space & Defense Group new orders for the quarter resulted in record order backlog for the group."

Balance Sheet

During the first quarter, the Company generated $1.5 million in operating cash flow and used $12.3 million to repurchase 864,000 shares of its common stock. Expenditures for capital additions in the first quarter were $4.3 million driven primarily by the expansion and renovation of the Company's East Syracuse, New York manufacturing facility and included $1.5 million in payments for fourth quarter 2007 fixed asset additions included in accounts payable at June 30, 2007. Funds needed for stock repurchases and capital expenditures in excess of funds generated by operations came from maturities of the Company's investments. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities at September 30, 2007 were $59.8 million.

Wireless Group

Wireless Group net sales for the quarter were $21.1 million, up 6.4% from the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Overall wireless infrastructure demand remained relatively stable throughout the quarter. However, the Company experienced an increase in the number of new custom assembly and standard component opportunities for wireless infrastructure applications. Sales of consumer component products were $1.0 million for the quarter, down 50% from the first quarter of last year due to a significant decline in demand from our largest consumer component customer. The Group continued to capture new consumer component design wins for WLAN and satellite television applications during the quarter.

Customers that generated greater than 10% of Wireless Group net sales for the quarter were Nokia and Richardson.

Space & Defense Group

Space & Defense Group net sales for the quarter were $11.0 million, up 5.9% from the first quarter of fiscal 2007. New orders for the quarter totaled $19.2 million and included contracts for Radar Subassemblies and Passive Ranging Subsystems (PRSS) as well as the finalization of the previously announced Globalstar II contract. New product and technology development activities are focused on high performance microwave substrates for airborne and ground based radar applications.

Space & Defense backlog at September 30, 2007 was a record $64.2 million.
Non-GAAP Measurements

Non-GAAP results reported in this release, which are a supplement to financial results based on GAAP, exclude charges for stock based compensation. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors to help understand and compare business trends among reporting periods on a consistent basis. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measurements are one of the primary indicators management uses for planning and forecasting in future periods. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Outlook

For the second quarter of fiscal 2008, we expect an increase in sales for the Space & Defense segment, a decline in demand for wireless infrastructure products, and comparable demand for consumer component products. As a result, we expect net sales to be in the range of $29.0 - $32.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2008. With an anticipated tax rate of approximately 25%, an expected stock based compensation expense of approximately $0.04 per diluted share, and a more favorable overall product mix, we expect net earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $0.14-$0.17 for the second quarter.

-- The newly-formed Consulting Practice recorded significant new sales and

The Company reported revenues of $24.0 million for the third quarter of 2007, a 7.9% increase from $22.2 million in the third quarter of 2006, which included $1.2 million for the ending of a franchise agreement during the same period in 2006. The Company reported net income of $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2007, a 50.3% increase from $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2006. This resulted in net income per diluted share of $0.07 in the third quarter of 2007, compared to $0.05 in the third quarter of 2006.

The Company's gross margin percentage in the third quarter of 2007 was 48.0% compared to 49.2% in the third quarter of 2006. As previously noted, the third-quarter of 2006 included revenue of $1.2 million for the ending of a franchise agreement; without which the third quarter of 2006 gross margin would have been 46.3%. Pre-tax income margin in the third quarter of 2007 was 24.8% compared to 17.4% in the third quarter of 2006. The Company's tax rate for the third quarter of 2007 was 37.7% compared to 36.3% in the third quarter of 2006.

"We are pleased with our third quarter results." said Dr. Michael McKelvey, President and CEO of eRT. "Our Company demonstrated strong growth during the quarter, led by our core cardiac safety business. Both our volume and new bookings growth of 40% in the quarter were impressive. The third quarter is a seasonally slow period due to vacations and the tendency of sponsors to not initiate Thorough ECG trials in the summer months. We were able to leverage our SG&A structure to produce net income growth of 50.3% compared to the same quarter a year ago; year to date our net income is up 66.4% from the previous year. Our earnings per diluted share have already exceeded that attained in all of 2006."

Dr. McKelvey continued, "The 23.4% growth in our backlog to $115.0 million from a year ago, combined with a continued robust sales environment and stabilizing prices shows a solid market demand for our services. We were particularly pleased with the strong showing of our bookings, which showed the fourth quarter in a row of growth quarter over quarter, and the growth of our newly-formed consulting business. In addition, we are working more closely with some of our key CRO partners in a number of different areas. Our operations team is executing very well and we continue to make good progress on the expense line; while we continue to invest in eClinical, Consulting and ePRO. The net effect of this is our achievement of pre-tax margins of 24.8% for the third quarter of 2007."

2007 Guidance

The Company issued guidance for the fourth quarter of 2007. eRT anticipates revenues of between $27 million and $28.5 million and net income per diluted share of $0.09 to $0.11 for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2007. For the full year ending December 31, 2007, management anticipates revenues will be around the midpoint of the previously issued guidance of $95 million and $103 million. Management raised its anticipated net income per diluted share to $0.29 to $0.31 from the previously issued guidance of the high end of the range of $0.25 to $0.30.

MELBOURNE, Fla., Nov. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Harris Corporation reported that revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 increased 30 percent to $1.2 billion, compared to $947 million in the prior- year quarter. Organic revenue growth was 13 percent. Orders in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 were $1.4 billion, an increase of 24 percent compared to the prior-year quarter.

Net income was $100 million, or $.73 per diluted share, compared to $83.9 million, or $.60 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP net income, excluding acquisition-related costs, was $104 million, or $.76 per diluted share, compared to $96.8 million, or $.69 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. The prior-year quarter benefited from a favorable tax settlement of $12 million, or $.08 per diluted share. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided on Tables 5 and 6 along with accompanying notes.

"Excellent first quarter growth included strong sales of our Falcon(R) tactical radio systems and organic growth across the Government Communications Systems segment in Civil and National Intelligence Programs, and IT Services," said Howard L. Lance, chairman, president, and chief executive officer. "Revenue in the quarter also benefited from the June 2007 acquisition of Multimax Incorporated and from Harris Stratex Networks, Inc., formed in January 2007. Orders were significantly higher than revenue, providing solid momentum for continued growth throughout fiscal year 2008."

Defense Communications and Electronics

First quarter revenue in the Defense Communications and Electronics segment was $429 million, an increase of 13 percent compared to the prior-year quarter. Operating income increased 21 percent to $132 million.

RF Communications Division revenue increased 20 percent compared to the prior-year quarter. Tactical radio demand was strong in both the U.S. government and international markets and across all product lines, including Falcon II HF (high-frequency) and multiband radios, and Falcon III handheld radios and vehicular systems. RF Communications backlog increased in the first quarter to about $1 billion.

Harris Falcon II and Falcon III radios are being installed in new Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles for the U.S. Army, Navy and Marine Corps. During the quarter, Harris received $26 million in additional MRAP orders from the U.S. Navy. Delivery of MRAP vehicles continues to be a priority for the Pentagon.

Also during the quarter, Harris received a $104 million order for Falcon II HF radios and a $42 million order for Falcon II multiband radios from the U.S. Army. The company received $68 million in orders from the U.S. Navy for Falcon II HF and multiband radios and Falcon III handheld radios. Harris received a $25 million order to provide the U.S. Marine Corps with remote control systems that allow radio use at a distance up to 3.5 kilometers.

In the international market, Harris was awarded a $76 million contract to supply the government of Pakistan with Falcon II HF radios. Orders were also received in the quarter from the governments of Algeria, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates Royal Guards.

In the Defense Programs business, revenue declined 3 percent. Year-over- year revenue increased on a number of major communications programs, including the CDL (Common Data Link) Hawklink program for the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army WIN-T (Warfighter Information Network-Tactical) program, the LMST (Lightweight Multiband Satellite Terminal) program for the U.S. Marine Corps, and the MIDS (Multifunctional Information Distribution System) terminals program for Department of Defense aircraft. Aircraft electronics revenue declined in the quarter, primarily as a result of the transition of the F-35 Lightning II program from the development phase to the low-rate initial production phase.

Government Communications Systems

First quarter revenue in the Government Communications Systems segment was $490 million, an increase of 43 percent compared to the prior-year quarter. Organic revenue increased 16 percent, excluding the impact of the acquisition of Multimax. The segment includes Civil and National Intelligence Programs, and IT Services.

Revenue drivers in the segment included the continued rollout of long-term systems integration contracts, including the FDCA (Field Data Collection Automation) program for the U.S. Census Bureau, the FTI (FAA Telecommunications Infrastructure) program, and equipment upgrades for the FAA VSCS (Voice Switching and Control System) program. The segment also had growth in classified development programs for National Intelligence customers and the Patriot IT services program for the NRO (National Reconnaissance Office). Segment revenue also benefited from the NMCI (Navy/Marine Corps Intranet) program and the NETCENTS program for the U.S. Air Force, both part of the Multimax acquisition.

Operating income for the segment was $43 million in the first quarter. Operating income benefited from strong year-over-year organic revenue growth, the Multimax acquisition, and the successful re-negotiation of pricing on an IT services contract. Income was negatively impacted by additional schedule and cost overruns on commercial satellite reflector programs.

During the quarter, Harris was among a number of companies awarded the 5- year ALLIANT Government-Wide Acquisition Contract by the U.S. General Services Administration. ALLIANT will allow Harris to provide integrated IT product and services solutions to support a number of federal agencies. Also during the quarter, Harris won a $25 million IT services contract with the U.S. Navy, an $11 million program with NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), and an $8 million follow-on IT services program with the U.S. Army.

Broadcast Communications

First quarter revenue in the Broadcast Communications segment was $147 million, an increase of 5 percent compared to the prior-year quarter. Operating income was $10 million, an increase of 18 percent compared to the prior-year quarter. The segment is benefiting from cost-reduction actions completed in the prior year.

Revenue in Software Systems was slightly higher than the prior-year quarter, while revenue in Transmission Systems declined, due to lower international transmitter sales and the exit from the radio resale business, which occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. Sales of digital transmitters improved, as broadcasters prepared for the February 2009 FCC- mandated transition to digital broadcast technology.

The Broadcast Communications segment continued to benefit from the Harris ONE(TM) initiative to provide interoperable, end-to-end workflow solutions that span the entire broadcast delivery chain. Harris integrated products are focused on the industry's transition to digital and high-definition services and on emerging media business and advertising models.

Orders in the first quarter were greater than revenue. Major orders included H-Class(TM) media software for Sony Entertainment Television, OSi- Traffic(TM) systems for Nexstar Broadcasting Group, NEXIO(TM) video servers for the American Forces Network and PBS (Public Broadcasting System), a significant order for digital signage infrastructure from the Venetian Hotel Macao, and an order from the Saudi Arabia Ministry of Culture and Information for products that span the company's high-definition portfolio.

The company shipped its first CENTRIO(TM) multiviewers in the quarter. CENTRIO, an award-winning multi-image processor, has gained early market recognition as a solution for streamlining complex, large-system, multi- display monitoring applications. Orders for the new system have been very strong.

Harris Stratex Networks, Inc.

First quarter revenue for the Harris Stratex Networks segment was $172 million, an increase of 7 percent compared to the prior-year quarter on a pro forma, non-GAAP basis (as if the former Harris Microwave Communications segment and Stratex Networks had been combined since the beginning of fiscal year 2007). The segment reported a first quarter operating loss of $1 million. Non-GAAP operating income, excluding integration costs associated with the business combination, was $7 million and was flat with the prior-year quarter. The segment's higher mix of lower margin, low-capacity radio shipments dampened operating performance in the quarter.

Orders in the first quarter were higher than revenue and reflected strong demand for wireless infrastructure systems across North America and international markets.

Demand continues to be driven by geographic footprint expansion, increased bandwidth requirements to support new services such as 3G and WiMAX, and network hardening and interoperability requirements for public safety. New market demand also is coming from the adoption of IP network technology, as operators converge voice and data networks to provide more advanced, revenue- producing services at lower costs. Harris Stratex Networks' portfolio of products delivers software-scalable systems to achieve capacity migration, broad frequency coverage, and network support for both traditional voice and IP traffic.

Harris Stratex Networks management will host a conference call and webcast (http://www.harrisstratex.com/) today at 5:30 p.m., Eastern Time, to discuss financial results for their fiscal year first quarter.

Outlook and Guidance

Harris increased its non-GAAP earnings guidance for fiscal year 2008 from a range of $3.30 to $3.40 to a new range of $3.35 to $3.45 per diluted share, excluding integration charges related to the acquisition of Multimax and the formation of Harris Stratex Networks. Non-GAAP earnings guidance represents a year-over-year increase of 21 percent compared to non-GAAP earnings for fiscal year 2007. The corresponding fiscal year 2008 GAAP earnings guidance is in a range of $3.28 to $3.38 per diluted share.

Revenue in fiscal year 2008 also is expected to increase 21 percent above fiscal year 2007. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP earnings guidance is provided on Table 7 and in the accompanying notes.

BMW Sauber F1 Team Races to the Front After Increased Emphasis on CFDFLUENT CFD Software from ANSYS Helps F1 Team More Than Double Point Tally

SOUTHPOINTE, Pa., Nov. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ANSYS, Inc. , a global innovator of simulation software and technologies designed to optimize product development processes, today announced that ANSYS engineering simulation software assisted the BMW Sauber F1 Team, who has more than double last year's points total in the 2007 Constructors' Championship.

Prior to the season, the BMW Sauber F1 Team signed an extended agreement with Fluent Deutschland, a subsidiary of ANSYS, Inc., to use FLUENT(R) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to run powerful engineering simulations on its new supercomputer -- one of the largest in Europe -- rather than invest in a second wind tunnel. This investment in CFD has allowed the team to run increasingly complex simulations of race car aerodynamics, far quicker than was previously possible. This has enabled the BMW Sauber F1 Team to analyze and implement design changes more quickly, which combined with other advances the team has made, has delivered the team's best performance in the Constructors' Championship to date.

"The launch of our latest supercomputer was a decisive reinforcement of our CFD capacity. Unlike other teams, we didn't plan to build a second wind tunnel. Instead, we have used the key relationship commitment with ANSYS to continue to develop and exploit the expanding potential for CFD that high- performance computing gives us," explained Mario Theissen, BMW Motorsport Director. He added that wind tunnel testing will continue as an important design element of their F1 racing car design because of validation of results and other areas of car development.

"The big difference with CFD compared to wind tunnels is that you not only get results, but also get an understanding of what goes on. Wind tunnel testing remains important with experimental work and CFD complementing each other," Theissen said.

To optimize the performance of the FLUENT CFD software, the BMW Sauber F1 Team invested in a custom-built supercomputer called "Albert2," the successor to its original Albert supercomputer developed in 2004. Powered by 512 Intel(R) Xeon(R) 5160 dual core processors, Albert(2) is 5.5 times more powerful and three times faster than the first Albert computer. Albert2 was specifically designed and built to run CFD simulations using the latest version of FLUENT software. It has the capacity to make 12,288,000,000,000 calculations per second, which highlights the staggering pace of advance in the potential power available to perform CFD simulations. Theoretically, the BMW Sauber F1 Team could run simulations approaching and even exceeding the landmark figure of 1 billion cells. When FLUENT became the first CFD software tool to be used in F1 -- by the Benetton team of 1992 -- simulations of only 100,000 cells were possible, such as the analysis of a front wing. The possibility of FLUENT meshes of 1 billion cells or more demonstrates how the continued partnership between the BMW Sauber F1 Team and ANSYS is proving critical to driving CFD development and making the technology ever-more important in the design process.

"Working together with the BMW Sauber F1 Team, we are exploring how maximum benefit can be yielded in aerodynamic design," said Ferit Boysan, vice president and general manager at ANSYS, Inc. "Relationships such as this are genuinely pioneering the engineering simulation possibilities of the future, and they could well have implications far beyond F1 racing. We are working at the leading edge of the technology, with the exciting thing being that we don't even know what the limits are yet."

- FLUENT CFD Software from ANSYS Helps F1 Team More Than Double Point
Tally

ANSYS, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANSS), a global innovator of simulation software and
technologies designed to optimize product development processes, today
announced that ANSYS engineering simulation software assisted the BMW Sauber
F1 Team, who has more than double last year's points total in the 2007
Constructors' Championship.

Prior to the season, the BMW Sauber F1 Team signed an extended agreement
with Fluent Deutschland, a subsidiary of ANSYS, Inc., to use FLUENT(R)
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to run powerful engineering
simulations on its new supercomputer -- one of the largest in Europe --
rather than invest in a second wind tunnel. This investment in CFD has
allowed the team to run increasingly complex simulations of race car
aerodynamics, far quicker than was previously possible. This has enabled the
BMW Sauber F1 Team to analyze and implement design changes more quickly,
which combined with other advances the team has made, has delivered the
team's best performance in the Constructors' Championship to date.

"The launch of our latest supercomputer was a decisive reinforcement of
our CFD capacity. Unlike other teams, we didn't plan to build a second wind
tunnel. Instead, we have used the key relationship commitment with ANSYS to
continue to develop and exploit the expanding potential for CFD that
high-performance computing gives us," explained Mario Theissen, BMW
Motorsport Director. He added that wind tunnel testing will continue as an
important design element of their F1 racing car design because of validation
of results and other areas of car development.

"The big difference with CFD compared to wind tunnels is that you not
only get results, but also get an understanding of what goes on. Wind tunnel
testing remains important with experimental work and CFD complementing each
other," Theissen said.

To optimize the performance of the FLUENT CFD software, the BMW Sauber F1
Team invested in a custom-built supercomputer called "Albert2," the successor
to its original Albert supercomputer developed in 2004. Powered by 512
Intel(R) Xeon(R) 5160 dual core processors, Albert(2) is 5.5 times more
powerful and three times faster than the first Albert computer. Albert2 was
specifically designed and built to run CFD simulations using the latest
version of FLUENT software. It has the capacity to make 12,288,000,000,000
calculations per second, which highlights the staggering pace of advance in
the potential power available to perform CFD simulations. Theoretically, the
BMW Sauber F1 Team could run simulations approaching and even exceeding the
landmark figure of 1 billion cells. When FLUENT became the first CFD software
tool to be used in F1 -- by the Benetton team of 1992 -- simulations of only
100,000 cells were possible, such as the analysis of a front wing. The
possibility of FLUENT meshes of 1 billion cells or more demonstrates how the
continued partnership between the BMW Sauber F1 Team and ANSYS is proving
critical to driving CFD development and making the technology ever-more
important in the design process.

"Working together with the BMW Sauber F1 Team, we are exploring how
maximum benefit can be yielded in aerodynamic design," said Ferit Boysan,
vice president and general manager at ANSYS, Inc. "Relationships such as this
are genuinely pioneering the engineering simulation possibilities of the
future, and they could well have implications far beyond F1 racing. We are
working at the leading edge of the technology, with the exciting thing being
that we don't even know what the limits are yet."

Computer-aided engineering and CFD simulations can be applied to many
areas of the racing car, allowing team engineers to quickly and accurately
test a number of design candidates before developing only the most promising
for wind tunnel testing. The new compute power offered by the Albert2

Customers -- including five of the top 30 health plans -- are accelerating roll-outs of Portico's solution, based on tangible evidence that the software dramatically increases bottom-line performance by optimizing provider network operations.

This growth is driving significant company expansion, including new hires and larger corporate headquarters, in Blue Bell, PA, where the company expects to hire more than 50 employees in the next 12 months.

Market Pressure Speeds Customer Roll-Outs

Health care plans are grappling with tighter regulations, tougher cost pressures and an absolute demand for transparency. This 'trifecta' makes accurate information a key business issue and a major factor in satisfaction as measured by patients, doctors and hospitals. Portico's current and future products are targeting the estimated addressable annual market of greater than $1 billion spent by health plans on obtaining, maintaining and servicing their provider networks.

"Health care plans have a tremendous challenge around managing their provider networks, and they are looking for ways to increase productivity and reduce errors and cost," said Ned Moore, CEO of Portico Systems. "We ensure that the data that is at the core of every transaction is clear, current and accurate. Our customers are the proof. They are looking at those numbers and noticing a dramatic improvement in their performance."

This broad market endorsement is reinforced by three major industry awards Portico received in the last 45 days: The Philadelphia 100(R), the 2007 Deloitte Greater Philadelphia Technology Fast 50 and the Inc. 5000.
